Pink Biography
Early Life
Alecia Beth Moore was born on September 8, 1979 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Her mother, Judith Moore was an ER nurse while her father James Moore was an insurance salesman. From age 4 to 12, Alecia trained as a competitive gymnast, which impacted her performing style heavily after becoming a musician. She also developed a passion for music in her childhood. Writing songs was Pink’s way to express her feelings. Middleground, the first band that she was a part of, was disbanded after losing a Battle of the Bands competition.
However, Alecia continued her music journey and adopted the name P!nk (written – Pink henceforth in the article) during her time performing in Philadelphia clubs.
Career
Pink formed an R&B group, Choice, but it was disbanded after creating a few songs. Following this, she signed with LaFace record and her debut single, There You Go, released in February 2000 became her first top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She gained further recognition for her collaborative single Lady Marmalade for Moulin Rouge!
Pink’s second album, Missundaztood released in 2003 was a huge hit as well and produced international hits like ‘Don’t Let Me Get Me’, ‘Just Like A Pill’ and ‘Get The Party Started’. It sold millions of copies around the world and firmly established Pink as a global star of her generation.
She then went on to win the Grammy Award of Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the third album Try This. However, the album did not do nearly as well on the charts as her previous work. But the Pop Royalty found her way back to the top of the charts with subsequent albums I’m Not Dead (2006) and Funhouse (2008).
Pink continued to impress with her work and has released successful albums like The Truth About Love, Beautiful Trauma and Hurts 2B Human. The 43-year-old has released over 135 million copies worldwide, making her one of the best-selling musicians around the world.
Pink Workout
Training and workout is not merely a way to keep fit for Pink. She is an energetic and strong performing artist. As a result, Pink has to nurture and strengthen her body to be able to perform with the same energy every single time and entertain the fans.
The most astonishing thing about Pink’s impeccable fitness level is the fact that she manages to maintain it while raising kids with her husband Carey Hart. In doing so, she follows a very simple training principle – Do not cut the corners, there is no shortcut.
An advocate of body positivity, Pink does not obsess over body composition. Instead, she pays attention to how she feels internally. This approach naturally eliminates the tendency to compare your own body with others.
While everyone can certainly achieve their fitness goals all by themselves, having a good coach can really help elevate the game to a whole new level. Pink has worked with Fitness coach Gregory Joujon-Roche who was crucial in formulating her training plan. She also worked with coach Jillian Michaels after giving birth to her children. Even now, she relies heavily on fitness coach Jeanette Jenkins’ advice. Her coaches’ primary responsibility is to ensure that Pink performs her exercises with correct techniques for the specified Duration.
Pink loves different fitness activities and Yoga, strength training, martial arts, gymnastics, biking, tennis as well as surfing are regular forms of activities in her routine. The 43-year-old trains six days a week and allows her body to rest and recuperate on Sunday.

Pink Diet
As a 5’4″ tall person weighing 130 lbs, Pink can be mistaken as ‘overweight’ by people obsessed with weight loss. However, the 43-year-old is known for putting on high-energy performances in her live shows. She does not abide by the so-called standards and only focuses on being healthy and fit without worrying too much about what the scale shows. But that does not mean she is giving in to any toxic ideas about body positivity. Pink adheres to a balanced and nutritious whole food diet to be able to give everything to her art.
“I try to eat really healthy most of the time. When I am not on tour, I’ve done the Vegan thing, although I sometimes eat chicken and fish.”
Dietary preferences
A food lover by nature, Pink likes to eat her favorite foods without being overly restrictive about the diet. Having the priorities straight helps her set more realistic and sustainable goals in terms of weight and body composition.
“I know I’m not at my goal or anywhere near it after Baby 2 but dammit I don’t feel obese. The only thing I’m feeling is myself,” Pink wrote in an Instagram post shared after giving birth to her child.
While maintaining a healthy weight is important for Pink, she struggled with excessive weight gain during the Covid-19 pandemic as a result of lifestyle change as well as hip and neck surgeries. However, she has the discipline and track record of keeping her body in peak form and was able to shed all the excess weight soon after.
“Having breaks is good for my voice. Not so good for the body. Especially during Covid, I gained 36 lbs. All I did was make sourdough and then eat the sourdough. And then I had not just the hip surgery but double disc replacement in my neck.”
“And then I had not just the hip surgery but double disc replacement in my neck. So now I’m the bionic woman. I’ve lost those 36 pounds, and I am stronger than I’ve ever been in my life,” Pink said in an interview with Variety.
Love for growing and cooking food
Pink has followed a mostly vegetarian diet since she was 15. However, she started eating chicken when she was pregnant with her daughter Willow. The 43-year-old also includes fish in the diet. She tries to keep her caloric intake at a maintenance level but when on tours, the hectic schedule and energy expenditure allows her to eat a little extra.
A proud mother of two, Pink loves cooking for her family. Serving delicious food to the kids and husband is one of the things Pink looks forward to the most when she returns from the tours. According to her social media posts, she and her family are really good at growing their food as well. Figs, sunflowers and pickles are some of the foods she has grown in her house garden.
Apart from the routine cooking for herself and family, Pink likes to explore cooking and even likes to take cooking classes for vacation.
Pink’s Full day of eating
Drinking plenty of water is one of the simplest and yet the best things one can do for good health and metabolism. Pink starts out by drinking nearly 20 ounces of water every morning.
To boost the energy levels and metabolism in the extremely busy schedule of work, social and family commitments, she relies heavily on superfood shakes. Pink’s trainer Gregory Joujon-Roche swears by the benefits of a superfood smoothie made with coconut water, avocados, Flaxseed oil and Blueberries. Needless to say, that is something the mother of three consumes with coffee on the breakfast table.
The four hours a day training routine also necessitates taking nutrition very seriously. After all, a rigorous training routine with a poor diet is a recipe for breaking the body down. Therefore Pink ensures that she eats healthy meals consisting of foods like Vegetables salads, grilled Chicken or Salmon and superfood smoothies throughout the day.
The high-intensity workouts cause enough energy expenditure for the 43-year-old to indulge in a calorie-dense favorite food like Halloumi Cheese on a regular basis.
“I’m obsessed with Halloumi. I grill it for salads with truffle oil and dandelion greens. The more exotic the greens, the better. I don’t care if people think Halloumi’ squeaky. They’re wrong,” Pink told Food & Wine in an interview.
Here’s the summary of the meals Pink eats on a typical day:
Breakfast
- Coffee
- Superfood smoothie filled with coconut water, Avocado, Blueberries, Flaxseed oil
Lunch
- Grilled Halloumi – Semi-hard Greek cheese made from Goat’s milk
- Vegetable salad with cabbage, carrots, pepper, spinach and onions
Dinner
- Grilled Chicken or Salmon
- Steamed Vegetables – Cauliflower, Broccoli
- Couscous
- Organic Green Tea
Supplements
- Superfood shakes
- Wellness Shorts and Super Shots
Pink Personal Life
Pink was in a relationship with professional motocross racer Carey Hart since 2001 and they decided to get married when Pink proposed to him during a race. Their wedding took place on January 7, 2006 in Costa Rica. Following a brief separation in 2008, they got back together after seeking counselling. Pink gave birth to her first child, a girl, in 2011 and the second child, a boy, in 2016.
To Conclude…
Pink is a huge proponent of body positivity and she leads the movement by example. However, it is also noteworthy that the 43-year-old singer does not conform to any toxic ideas and misinterpretation about body positivity. She has prioritized maintaining a healthy body weight and overall fitness and the positive outcome of this approach is on full display in her performances.
